There was a point where I started to dive more into specs, docs, and code, and less relying on finding the answer I'm after.

But in defence of those spending hours on forums, sometimes a project is not well documented, and the code isn't easy to read. In those situations though, I'll be browsing their Github issues or contacting them directly.

Often though I find it highly valuable to go read the docs, even if an LLM has given me a working example. Sometimes, I find better ways, warnings, or even information on unrelated things I want to do.
